Some local authorities in England, Scotland and Wales charge residents to collect their garden waste bins. We want to know how these charges have affected you.

Have neighbours ever used your green bin without asking since your local authority introduced charges, and what have you done about it? Have there been any disputes in your neighbourhood and if so what have the consequences been?

Have you ever complained to your local authority about unauthorised use of your green bin? What has their response been?
